My Project

I have the opportunity to work with some of the brightest young minds in the world. I strive daily to become the best teacher that I can be and expose them to as much as I can, while I can. However, many of our students come from low-income families. Our school is located in the rural Mississippi Delta. We are a Title I school where 100% of our students receive free lunches.

I would like to create a performance arts center for my students to record videos on various materials to display for the school.

My students share a passion for music, dance, and acting and I would love to help cultivate that love by providing them with an area to do so. In this project we are requesting a Kareoke speaker with mic, a back drop with stand, and ring light. Thank you in advance for considering this project.
